athy, doing no good to any one except the
bondholders, which should be walked up and
made active instruments in the development
Of the country.
We cannot pay of this debt unless we
maintain our revenue system substantially
as it is. To lop off branches of it now, and
restore them when we need the money to
pay the bonds viii be to infict untold an
noyance and loss upon the business interests
of the country.
The men who hold Government bonds,
and who consequently do not want the Gov
eminent to pay its debts and deprive them
of a permanent, safe and profitable invest
ment, are in an active league with the sol
dier-haters to reduce the revenues to the
point where it will be impossible for the
Government to pay its debts
Our duty as veterans, as comrades, as
patriotic citizens is clear. 1t is to insist
with all the earnestness we are capable Of
that there shall be no tinkering with the
revenue system, no clumsy and mischieyous
meddling with the business interests Of the
country until every dollar owed by the Ma
ton to its creditors-veterans or bondhold-
ers-is paid. We must insist that the pro-
ceeds of the system which are not needed
for the ordinary running expenses of the
Government are needed and must be de-
voted to the payment of the Nations debt
TO its soldiers, to carrying out the recon-
mendations of the GAR. National Pension
Committee, and to putting the country in a
proper condition Of defense against foreign
war. When this is done, then the debt due
the bondholders should be met as it becomes
due and payable.
Comrades, this is the most important duty
before US. We want everyone to give this
matter the most serious thought, for it
deeply concerns him in every way. We
have no fear but that the more he studies
the problem the more convinced he will be
that the course we urge is the only correct
| one. If so, then LET him advocate this policy
in public and private, and appeal to his
Representatives in Congress to stand firm
against any revenue tinkering until the
Nation is able to stand before the world in
/ the honest attitude of one who has fully
and fairly paid every debt that 1t owes.

Brief. and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people q nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember;--No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness TO the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for DO tie -

ALL ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR.
A ColOred EdIter Sues the bay Ridge
Company.

w. Calvin Chase, colored, editor of the
Washington Bee, has decided 70 enter suit
against the Bay Ridge Company for re-
fusing to serve him with dinner at Bay
Ridge on Sunday last. Mr.. Chase makes
the following statement of the affair:
On Sunday last boarded a train at the
b. & q. depot, having bought a ticket
for Bay Ridge. At noon went into the
Bay Ridge Hotel TO get dinner. When
decided what would suit my appetite, l
ordered. The waiter took my order and
| went and got 1t. but while on bis way
TO serve me he was intercepted by the
head waiter who said TO him: You know
that is against the rules" The waiter
then told me he could not serve me. /
asked him why, and he referred me TO
the head wgiter, who came up and said.
1T is against the rules" and referred me
TO the steward, whom ! again asked why
| could not be served, and he replied
Because IL is against our rules. !" / asked
him what rules. and he answered: Your
skin is too dark" then told him / did
not propose to get up from the table un-
ill | got something to eat He then told
me / would have 10 see Mr. Webb, the
manager of the hotel. | then requested
Walter Baynard to take my card to Mr..
Webb, but the head waiter would not al
low him to take it. / then said: II will
remain at the table until Mr.. Webb comes,
or until get something to cat" In the
meantime Mr.. Webb, came up to me, |
told him ! wanted to be served with a
dinner, and he replied: You can't be
served here" / asked him why, and he
said: 1T is against the rules of the com.
pany." then insisted on his giving me
the reason for these rules and asked him
IL he refused to serve me on account of
my color. He replied most emphatically:
Yes" / told him that was all | wanted
to know, and then left the table.
During the controversy much excite
ment was created and about 100 cOlored
walters gathered around Chase and Webb.
They were ordered to their duties, but
some of them refused to go. and told Mr..
Chase that II he would wait until four
o'clock dinner, when the rush" came in,
IL they were not allowed to serve him they
would strike" and walk out of the din.

very hungry he did not desire to be the

Delays on the A. { B. short Line.

There Is often good reasen for occa-
sional delays on railroads. but the fire.
quent delays on the Short Line Railroad
is becoming rather monotonous. The
regular train due here at 100 last evening
arrived about 945 and the regular train
due at $40 this A. NJ, did not arrive IN
til 1910. This uncertain way of running
trains does not speak well for the man
agement of the road. On the End OF Au-
gust while the Governors Guards were
being conveyed over the Short Line to
Baltimore we are told that the freight
train was allowed to remain on the main
track at Revells Station some twenty
minutes or more, without signalling the
approaching train, which they knew was
following, and the consequence was a
very narrow escape from a collision. Not
many evenings ago the bridge keeper on
the Severn had the draw open long alter
the train was due. Now, had the air brake
failed to work, nothing would have pre-
vented the train from going headlong
through the draw. Again, on the 23rd IN
slant. freight train was allowed 10 re-
main on the main track on the time OF
the approaching regular passenger train,
which resulted in a serious. but not fatal
wreck. We consider ii our duty as public
journalists 10 call the attention of the
company to these matters, and trust that
they may b. remedied.
